A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 6 GI Bill® students at Lewis. Because the school enrolls 3,665, around 16.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. About 0.8% of the student body at Lewis, per U.S. Department of Education data.
